The topological properties of fermions arise from their low-energy Dirac-like band dispersion and associated chirality. Initially confined to points, extensions of the Dirac dispersion to lines, and even loops, have now been uncovered, and semimetals hosting such features have been identified. However, experimental evidence for the enhanced correlation effects predicted to occur in these topological semimetals has been lacking. Here, we report a quantum oscillation study of the nodal-loop semimetal ZrSiS in high magnetic fields that reveals significant enhancement in the effective mass of the quasiparticles residing near the nodal loop. Above a threshold field, magnetic breakdown occurs across gaps in the loop structure with orbits that enclose different windings around its vertices, each winding accompanied by an additional pi Berry phase. The amplitudes of these breakdown orbits exhibit an anomalous temperature dependence. These findings demonstrate the emergence of novel, correlation-driven physics in ZrSiS associated with the Dirac-like quasiparticles.
